OVERVIEW


This core course provides a comprehensive understanding of using QuickTest
Professional 8.0 as an automated functional testing tool for different
environments. The QuickTest Professional’s graphical point and click interface
is used to create and run automated tests. This course addresses topics such as
recording and running tests, adding synchronization points and verification
steps, modularizing and reusing tests. You will manage objects in the Object
Repository, which stores test object properties. The Object Spy tool is used to
view object properties at run time. All topics are supported by extensive
hands-on exercises that are based on real-life examples designed to provide
you with the knowledge necessary to automate testing using QuickTest
Professional.
